of Cardiandra from Central China in the foot note of the ( lardener's 

 Chronicle above cited. Unfortunately, owing to an error on my 

 part, the description had been carelessly overlooked by myself when

 my plant is entirely referable to the species described by the above 

 authority. C. formosana Hayata should, therefore, be rendered to 

 a synonym of C. sinensis Hemsl.
